[intro] EmG (x2)
EmG
There stood the fence that penned me in when I was younger
EmG
This was the house where we all stayed
EmG
There was a tree we used to hang out under
EmG
This was the place where I played
AEm7
But now that's gone so I have to wonder
AEm7
Is it worth the price we pay?
AEm7
A long range test has put us under
A -stop- EmGEmG
And made us go away, go away...
EmG
This was the town where all my friends and I had grown up
EmG
The only place I've ever known
EmG
A long gray street with some houses built on it
EmG
Less than perfect but it was home
AEm7
Now it's gone and I curse it in my darkness
AEm7
This is the cross I have to bear
AEm7
We pay the price of our own injustice
A -stop-
We made us go nowhere
EmGEm
Go nowhere, nowhere
solo
repeat intro
EmG
This was our earth our garden of eden
EmG
Took what we could and left her there bleeding
EmG
And what became of the hopes and the dreams
EmG
Did they die with us 'cause that's how it seems
AEm7
Here comes the rain can't you taste the acid?
AEm7
Or has it left you numb?
AEm7
This is the moral to the story I offer
A -stop-
Can you hear me son...
EmG
Or have you gone away
EmG
Away
EmG fades
Away
